How it’s built
- Added the Tokyo company's net profit for each year from the annual results notices: ¥415,480m.
- Found payouts by checking whether retained earnings grew by less than profit: only two years show a gap, ¥2,989m and ¥8,977m.
- 11,966 ÷ 415,480 = 2.88%; split 32% to Nintendo and 68% to the other two founders.
What we assumed
- Any shortfall in retained earnings growth is a payout to owners.That is the usual reason; the notices do not itemise dividends, so other movements could be mixed in.
- Nintendo holds 32% and the other two founders 68%.From one press report; the split is not filed.
Sanity check
Retained earnings at the end were ¥413,917m, almost the whole decade's profit, which agrees that little was paid out.
